mullet:
Dick I know some rock vendors down here that would probally be up for it.But then it would ruin all those N.C. boys handling some good rock.
jamie,Nothing better than driving to The Carolina's with Allman Brother's "Eat a Peach" blaring. ;D
Justin Snyder:
Dang, you guys should have loaded half the rock I hauled to Pappy's and left. I don't know what you were thinking. ;D Justin
nugget:
WOW I did not dream of something this big.. But I will help however i can.. I will talk to Boo about setting up his forge and doing some knife demos. How far is it from Wilkesboro? I think it might be about 2 to 3 hrs, not sure.Financially I can't contribute right now , I am currently layed off. I hope that will change. I will try to help out however I can with sweat and muscle. I do have plenty of that to give. Tears and blood are optional. Sounds like one heck of a time.
DBernier:
Eddie, know what you mean about the rock. Justin brought a boat load to Pappy's. I did not want to hog it all but there was a few hundred pounds left over. I have about three five gallon buckets of my own I will bring for demo purposes for the nappers.
Justin, I don't know what I was thinking ???.
Nugget, I think you misunderstood. We are not looking for money from the future committee members or any one of us. We probably will do it with the parking fees. Who knows we may get enough $ we would be able to refund the $5 Vendor fee. As for how far from you it is to here, do a map quest from Wilkesboro to Mebane. Its about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. It took me 2hrs 45min to get to Ashboro, night driving from here. 8)
Listen, we need you "people", men and women, thinking of how we can best supervise the event and the multitude of demo's we put on. Don't be skeptical of volunteering for a lead in supervising or demoinstrating say hide tanning or maybe arrowmaking. Look at the list and try and fit your skills into a slot. Maybe there is a skill I missed. Who me :o miss something? ??? Let me interject how easy this can be. Lets take arrow making. Say a month before you line up your raw materials. Lets say its bamboo. You would have say per demo, two raw shafts, one to show how we straighten them out one finished shaft, then two more. One with feathers complete and one started and then how to nock it and then how to use pitch and sinew to finish. Maybe you would be spending 1 or 2 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon. Some of you may want to spend all day doing your thing. Great!!!!!!! ;D It is going to take a year to do this because of the logistics. We need people from all over the state. Hey Bernie, you listening? ;) Ask questions. You can email me privately or call me. You have my phone #s. Lets talk about this. The sooner we nail it down the sooner we can iron out whatever detail pop up. This is going to be "fun" ;D and lets keep it that way. 8) Listen, this is going to be "YOUR" event, not mine, not Pats or Steve's, or anyone else on the committee, yours. Make it a good one. I will be taking more photos today and will post them later.
